What is the Cow Milk Allergy Test?

The Allergen Individual – Food Cow Milk Test measures specific IgE antibodies directed against proteins found in cow’s milk. When a person with milk allergy consumes milk or dairy products, the immune system may react and cause allergic symptoms. This test helps doctors determine whether cow’s milk is responsible for allergic reactions.

Who should take this test?

• Individuals experiencing allergic reactions after consuming milk or dairy products.
• Children or adults with symptoms such as hives, itching, swelling, or rashes after dairy intake.
• People suspected of having food allergies.
• Patients with digestive symptoms linked to milk consumption.
• Doctor-advised testing to identify specific food allergens.

Preparation & Test Process

How to interpret results

The report indicates whether cow milk–specific IgE antibodies are present in the blood.

Positive result may indicate sensitivity or allergy to cow’s milk.
Negative result suggests milk allergy is unlikely, though symptoms should still be clinically evaluated.

Results should be interpreted together with symptoms and consultation with an allergy specialist.
